Thanks for that, just ordered 1, already got 3 broadband dongle with 5GB month for £7.43 a month. Never had any probs with it at all, Use it nearly everyday at work & downloading files at home. I always get a good signal with it, where ever i am.

If I need mobile internet, I just get a £20 t-mobile voucher off ebay for a tenner, then use it in my nokia 5800 to create wireless hotspot, pls there is no signal problem.

Those p&g sims comes with 10 days free internet; afterwards, £2.5 gets you 5 days internet booster. £20 credit gets you upto 40 days internet access, in total, 10+40 =50 days internet access. Works out at 20p per day, much cheaper than this (50p). :thinking:

Can anybody confirm if the credit is only used once every 90 day to stay alive than as long as i dont use it all the PAYG credit will stay on the SIM indefinately. At least this way i can use it just in emergencies as and when required. Thanks.

Edit: Just read the Currys website...looks like i would have to end up paying something in each and every month for the account to stay alive:

Choose from 3 easy pay options - £2 per day, £7 per week (equivalent to £1 per day) or £15 for 30 days(equivalent to 50p* per day)

When I was looking around I found that only the Vodafone PayG model worked on the 90 day keepalive rule for credit, all the others expire.

You pay a little more for a gig, but it doesn't expire unless there is no chargeable activity within a 90 day period. So just fire it up and do a google search every 89 days.

I reserved and went to collect at Alperton Store. The store could not/would not sell to me without buying a £20 top up to go with it. Spent over an hour negotiating with the store manager and with the customer services for online. Still did not get it!

Tip: Make sure the teenage muppet who serves you gives you a pay as you go box with a SIM Number sticker on the back and not the contract box that doesn't have the SIM Number sticker. Otherwise you will have to go all the way back to Curry's and wait for another teenage muppet to go find a grown up to get you the right box.

You're a lucky ******. I live in a major UK city near the centre and the connection is really bad.
